PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
A Wife's Bright Reply.

Iheard yesterday q bright reply by a
young wife to an old husband. He is a
New York professional man of high repu-
tation. Some time after his marriage he
was foolish enough to think that his wife,
who is most beautiful woman, was not
sufficiently educated and laid out course
of reading for her. A month later he in
quired about her progress and found that
she had not opened book. He set up
his eyebrows after the manner of old
husbands when their young wives have
displeased them. Whereupon with be-
witching smile she, said to him: II was
made to be loved, not to be learned" She
won the day.-New York Tribune.

Fashion Notes.

Roman sashes have again come into
vogue.
Buttons. covered with goods matching
the dress are once more in order.
Two shades of lilac are worn in the
street costume as we'll as in the evening.
Tassel stitch embroidery is something
new and very easy to accomplish.
Russian cross stitch is very stylish
trimming for the cotton fabrics.
Collars and cuffs of velvet are seen on
all sorts of thin fabrics, even mulls.
Ruchings of baby ribbon are seen on
some very attractive tulle dresses.
Embroderies of all sorts are very stylish
on both spring and summer suits.
The India shawl is being imported in
large numbers again and has become
fashionable.
Tan shades in gloves are no longer so
fashionable as grays and the new pearl
shades.
Jubilee blue is new shade in honor
of Queen Victoria. 1t is bright and
becoming color.
Flamant is the name given to the new
shades of terra Gotta and light flame like
brown.
Pompadour designs are seen on some
of the new silk, and are in most charm
ing colorings.
Angora cloths are most attractive Tor
Light Xeisbt eedlea ssGmes, and wear
wonderfully.
Coat cloth in all the popular Suede,
tan and biscuit shades is for short jackets
for spring wear.
Russet shades will be- used for street
wear, and already vie with the styliah
biscuit shades.
Chuddahcieths are In exquisite colors,
and are equally well adapted Tor both
house and street wear.
Ribbon is having its day, and every
available spot on the costume shows q
bow or group of loops.
The new corded ginghams are in
! charming colorings, and will be very sty-
lish the coming season.
The fashion of wearing sparkling
stones in the rosettes for the house shoes
of kid or satin IS pretty one.
Renaissance green has blue tints, and
is quite different from the past seasons
shades in the popular color.
Scarlet or English pink will continue a
favorite color for spring wear, and every
young girl must have 'spink coat"
Illuminated cloths which have inter-
Weavings of bright colored silk threads
are very stylish for tailor-msde costumes.
Spring woolens are in great variety and
of beautiful quality and finish and in
rather more distinctive coloring than last
season.
Cress green with pink is still very
fashionable and becoming combination,
and one which is particularly suited to
evening fabrics.
Hymalaya cloth is so soft and pliable
that it is very much used for morning
gowns and wrappers. 1t is in the soft
and natural wool shades.
Spangled fans are quite the rage, and
the more they are spangled the more
fashionable they are. Silver and gilt
spangles both are used.
A new shape in the sailor hat promises
to be popular. 1t has the same brim, but
the crown is higher in front than at the
back, and is slightly peaked at the front
of the crown.
Combination is even more than ever
before the order of the day. Sometimes
the front of dress is of one material
and the back of another. Great care,
however, must be taken in the formation
of such a dress, that the effect may be
graceful, the object being to simulate
garment of one material worn over one
of another

His Choice.

A teacher in the primary department
of village school asked the children to
name the fruit each one liked best.
One liked peaches, another pears, a
third grapes, and so on until little fel.
low at the foot of the class was reached.
Almost every kind of fruit known to js-
venile minds had been named two OF
three times, but Tommy, with smack OF
mis- lips, indicated his choice BY saying:

STYLE in DRESSING Hair.

While the majority OF ladies wear the
hair dressed high on the head, there is no
set rule as to how it shall be arranged !;
and the more irregular the disposition of
it and unstudied the effect, the better.
Small combs are in high vogue and are
placed according to the fancy of the
wearer, but where they will apparently
do the most good. Sometimes the hair
is parted down the middle of the back,
and each strand is twisted separately and
disposed high on the head, making sort
of double French twist effect; or one
strand is carried over the other, and a
comb with square top ornaments the
place of crossing. The front is disposed

shading the forehead only slightly. For
dressy wear, bows and pompons and
feathers and aigrcttes are placed we'll for
ward and a little to one side. Very beau
tiful ornaments in these styles for the hair
can be found ready made; clusters of
short tips, cream or pink, or pale blue,
curling over like the leaves Of q LILY, with
bristlinG aigrettes standing In the center,
rosettes Of narrow, picot edged ribbon, in
dark as we'll as light colors, with the inev-
liable aigrette in the middle, sometimes
of silver and gold; pompons made of
picot ribbon, with upright loops of wider
ribbon used as an aigrette; cluster of
roses surrounded with foliage of jetted
leaves; and in some flowers, tips and rib
bons are combined. .-Demorest's
Wedding Rings in the Oldcn Times.
1t was a pretty custom, long ago, for
lovers to exchange rings. The gentleman
did not have to spend months income
for pretty trinket for which he got no
return, but he also wore and cherished
souvenir from his sweetheart. Chaucer
describes heroine as giving her lover a
ring on which were engraved suitable
love-mottoes, and receiving like one in
return. Shakespeare makes more than
one allusion to this custom. In the "Two
Gentlemen of Verona" Julia gives Por-
teus ring, saying: Keep you this re-
membrance for thy Julia's sake" To
which he replies: ''Why, then, We'll
make exchange, here, take you this"
A "gimmap' or linked ring was then
invented which gave still greater force
and significance to the custom. 1t was
made of double and often triple link,
which turned upon pivot. 1t could be
opened, showing three rings. A small
hand was attached to each outer ring,
which, when closed, caused the hands to
clasp, inclosing heart which was affixed
to the central notchcd ring. 1t was Gus
tomary to break these rings asunder in a
solemn manner over the Bible. It was
always done in the presence ola witness,
who kept the centre ring, the betrothed
couple reserving the two outside links:
When the marriage contract was fulfilled
at the altar the three portions were united
and the ring used in the CEREMONY
